Seeking alpha testers for cyberpunk role playing

I've been working on my new world for a little while now. I've had colleagues test it, but no one from the outside world. It never feels like a good time to take this step, which is why it's a good time to take it now! So, would anyone like to have a go? It's an extensive cyberpunk role-playing game. If so, please message me privately and I'll send the link. I'd prefer to publish it here, but I'm planning on getting some publicity for it at a later date and some outlets can be funny about it if you've been linked anywhere before, even a semi-private forum (sad but true).

Edit:

The game keeps growing and growing - more war, more pain and injuries, more cybernetic implants. We now have some completely original and custom art for the game too - meet Ann, Zane, her pimp, and a couple of useful pieces of hardware:

New testers always welcome! Just to note as well - if you let me know you're interested, I'll send a PM, but the forum software doesn't do automatic notifications of new PMs, so please remember to check back! I'll usually reply to you very quickly. Alternatively, you can email me directly at rob@latenightpartnership.com

Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback and filled out my survey so far. It's been really useful and I think things are already feeling more polished. I'm still working on the in-game reward for alpha testers as well, although if you'd prefer something in FL (via the Square of Lofty Words or whatever), just let me know.

More feedback is always welcome of course! The more testers the better.

If you're interested (and I hope you are!), development is proceeding apace. We're not quite at "vast, sprawling" level yet, but it's developing - probably about 200 storylets so far.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has tested it and sent feedback so far; it's been immensely helpful. (Seriously, if you're working on something, you need independent testers from day one in the same way as you need oxygenated blood going to your brain).

Just hit a big content threshold by releasing a whole load of new stuff that ties a lot of things together in the main area (well, the main area so far). There are just under 250 storylets now, and although it's far from finished there's enough there now for fairly continuous play.

We're building up a gritty little community in the game, but as ever, more testers are welcome!

I'm releasing batches of content weekly now (on Sunday evenings, for whatever inexplicable reason), with bug fixes and tweaks in between. I'm still calling it pre-alpha, as a lot of game mechanics aren't finished or are non-existent, but it is fully playable and has more storylets than a lot of published games now.

Wow, really amazing game! Really enjoying it!Sometimes there are tiny spelling or punctuation errors that I'd like to submit, what's the preferred way to do that? Also, is there some way to submit suggestions?

Hey, thanks! You can send any bug reports of typos to me via PM on this forum or via the support link at the top of the game's interface. Suggestions are more than welcome too!

Great! I've been meaning to send typo reports, but I can't find the support link at the top of the interface. Is it the &quotcontact creator&quot link?

Yes, that's the one, although I think you've found it already! Thanks for the reports so far. You should have my email address now too, as I replied, so you can just email instead in future if you like.
